TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
Some of the Manifestations in Decapi-
tated Heads

tatSd heads.
From Popular Science Monthly
In recent meeting of the Paris Academy OF
Sciences NJ. Hayem, Professor in the Medical
School, read paper on the effects of blood
TRANSMISSION in the head of recently decaptated
animals, which showed that if before the head $
blood supply is insured by the establishment OF
q communication with the arterial system Of a
living dog or horse, the heads death is very
slow one If TRANSMISSION is practiced some mo-
mentS after the head has become entirely inert
that is, some minutes after decapitation--the
results are the following: Some muscles, espe-
clally in the lips, begin to twitch slightly; then
the respiratory efforts set in; after that the eye
recuperates its reflex sensibility, first in feeble
manner, and the refisxisOnly uuilateralthe III
marked manner it becomes bilaterai. But the
eyelids remain dropping, the head has general
appearance of drowSineSs, and there is no al'-
pearance at all of any voluntary movement
This apparent return to state of UNCONSCIOUS
life takes, of course, more time when the trans
fusion is made at late stage: when made SIX
minutes after the cessation of all movements
IT requires four minutes to bring the phenomena
back again. These experiments show once
more that death by decapitation, although very
rapid, is not sudden; consciousness persists
during a short time, and sensation IS not
thoroughly impaired; thought must be possible.
However short this period may be, 1t may be a
long one to the sufferer, and the number of ideas
and sensations during those few seconds may be
very considerable.

Midsummer Madness.

Bring hither, bring hither my red bandbox;
Bring hither my bandboX green,
And my handbook brown from London town
And my box of silvern sheen.
'And it's oh for my trunk of leather tough
And my trunk of oak ribbed zinc;
And my trunk so tough, of canvas stuff,
That will bulge, but will not Shrink.
'Oh, pile them high with the robes wear,
Till their lids they overflow;
My lord he will stare, and exc he will swear,
But in they will have to 60"

They have seizen her boxes one and all,
In the Tavern Lafitte de Kidd;
And loudly for help the porters CALL
AS they stack them up in entry and hall,
And pile them high against bulkhead and wall,
But wherever they stow them, great and small,
Far out of her reach they are slid.
Her room is a cell fathom long,
Her bed is q thing of fears;
Where all night long the noiseless song
OF the wingless bird she hears.
And her lord he lies in q hallway lone,
On sleep destroying cot,
Where she hears him groan in wrathful tone

A mansion of cool gray stone
There are peaceful glooms in seventeen rooms,
Where the burglar sleeps alone.

Egg Lighter and Bushelwomen.
From the Boston Post.

Now and then | come across an advertisement
in the newspapers which puzzles me and gives
my Imagination flip which it is not apt to get
from the ordinary announcements that attract
attention. The last experience which / had in
this way is conveyed in the following line:
Egg Lighter-An experienced man wants
situation; can light as many eggs as any man
living or has ever lived"
There is something audaciouS in the claim of
the advertiser, which, taken in connection with
the mysterious character of his advertisement,
impresses me with a high opinion of his ca
pacity in his especial province. What an
egg lighter is | do not know, and should be
sorry to make any deep inquisition into the mat
ter lest he should turn out to be entirely differ
ent from my conceptions of him, and lower my
wholly imaginative estimate of his worth In
such cases it is well not to clip the wings of
fancy. For the same reason | have always re-
solutely refused to investigate the meaning of
the term bushel-wOman, which | have often
seen among the wants" in the newspapers
There is something in the idea of bushel as ap-
piled to women which is wonderfully sug
geStive, and it seems to me that any attempt to
investigate the connection would bring it down
to the level of the commonplace. As long as
the standard dictionaries fight shy of such ex-
presSions as egg-lighters and busheiwOmen, it
would be presumptuouS for any outsider to in
vestigate their meaning. | please myself with
thinking of egg lighting as something to do
with the tabled phoenix, while my sympathieS
are aroused for the bushelwoman as q female
who has four times as much worry as is con-
tanned in the ordinary peck of trouble

Cleaning Out a Den of Wild Dogs.
E.om the sd LOUIS Globe .Democrnt.

In Buncombe county, n. c., party of hunters
discovered den of wild dogs while hunting last
Saturday. \ woman met the party and told
strange story, saying that few days before she
had been attacked in her house by what she
thought must be wild dogs. At the time the
doors were closed, but the desperate animals
made attempt after attempt TO enter. She re
ported that they were large, very lean and with
the aspect of wolves, but more daring. The next
day after their appearance at the house the dogs
were again seen by the woman, who was outside
She fled to the house for shelter, and reached it
just in time Since that occurrence she had
been virtually prisoner in her own house The
hunters spent hours in searching for the dogs,
and finally found them in regular den in a
wild and rugged mountain. The hunters dogs
advanced and all three were killed in few min
utes by the ferocious wild dogs. The place was
difficult of access, but Calvin Jones and Charles
Harkins undertook to reach it, and climbed to
the den with Winchester rifles in their hands
They never reached the den. The ferocious dogs
came out of it. and the hunters had to fire rap
idly to save their lives. They killed five of the
dogs as the latter rushed on them Three dogs
finally retreated to the cave To-day the
hunters returned and killed these

The Continued Abuse of the President.
The continued attacks upon the President
by the Republican journals ON account of
his approval of the order to return the
battle flags doubtless have two purposes.
One is to influence the soldier vote against
the Democratic party and the other is to
scare Congress into passing another depend
ent pension bill, and, if it should be vetoed,
to pass it over the Veto
A pension bill similar to the one that the
President vetoed last winter has been pre-
pared and is now being submitted to all the
Grand Army Posts in the country. This bin
gives "A pension to the parents of soldier
who died in the service. who have no other
means of support than their own manual
labor 1t gives to all ex-soldierS who served
for three months in the war, and who are
now suffering or who may hereafter suffer
from any mental or physical trouble, not
the result of their own vicious habits and
which incapacitateS them for the perform
ance of manual labor, pension of S12 per
month, and it gives to the widow and
children of any pensioner who is dead,
or who may hereafter die, the pension which
such pensioner received.
This bill will be presented to the present
Congress and will be vigorously pushed
in that body. 1t is estimated that if
it passes it will add half million names to
the pension roll. That it will increase
pauperism to an alarming extent there is no
reason to doubt; that it will enrich pension
claim agents is beyond question, and that it
will impose an enormous and uncalled-for
burden upon the people is evident. If this
bill becomes a law the army of pensioners of
this country will be four times as great as
the standing army of Great Britain almost
twice as large as the standing army of Ger
many and about one-third larger than the
standing army of France. The cost of
maintaining this army of pensioners will be
S2l 900, 600 more year than that of main
tanning the most costly standing army of
Europe.
VIII Congress have the courage to resist
the effort to impose such burden upon the
country-a burden that will have to be
borne not for one or two years, but, in all
probability, for half a century! 1t is the
purpose of the pension claim agents, with
the aid of the Grand Army of the Republic,
to secure the passage of this bill if they can.
The affair of the battle flags is being used
to solidify the soldier vote against the Dem
ocratic party because that party stands in
the way of this enormous pension
scheme, and doubtless of other schemes
for squandering the public money. The
Republican party shows no readiness to as
sist in reducing the revenue for the reason,
perhaps, that it hopes to return to power
and has schemes for using all the revenue of
which it can get control.

The South of To-Day.


A correspondent writes an interesting let
ter to the New York .Euening Post cou-
corning the South as it is to-day. He says
nothing of the booming towns, the iron and
coal interests, the cotton, grain, and other
crops, for they, he thinks, speak for them
selves He deals fairly and intelligently,
however, with the social and political con-
dition of the people, thing not often done
by correspondents of the Northern press.
Prior TO the election of President Cleve-
land there existed in the South a gloom of
uncertainty and distrust, caused by the per-
sistent misrepresentation of political agi-
tators. There were in the South, too, num-
bers of ''unreconstiucted,n ready at all times
to discuss old and dead issues. The wrongs
of the reconstruction era were. fresh III the
minds of the people, and the carpet-bag in
fluence was q constant menace to friendly
relations causing suspicion and preventing
equitable adjustment The correspondent
finds all, this changed. The social and po-
litical sentiments of the people are different
from what they were, as is evidenced by
the orderly and friendly relation between
whites and negroes. 1t is also evidenced,
the correspondent thinks, sin the absence of
race rivalry, which has harmonized into
healthy emulation, in the pnmistakable de-
sire on the part Of the lower race to attain
a higher level of enlightenment through the
schools and through the example of the
more highly favored whites, and in the
manifest willingness of the whites to meet
and encourage the aspirations of the ne
groes with generosity and earnest sympa-
thy which is as unprecedented as it is hon
orable to the race"
The correspondent discovers that after
the stormy period which prevailed in the
South, there now exists a wholesome and
reviving calm-"a calm produced by a con-
tented realization of restored confidence
between the North and the South, between
the races, and by trust in the administra-
ton of the government, by the people under
the guiding hand and broad patriotism of
President Cleveland" He declares that all
classes eagerly drop the irritating and dam
aging quarrels of politicians, for competi-
tion in the vital matters of self-culture and
the development of the abundant resources
of their country.

Cardinal Persico.

The former Bishop of Savannah, Ga, Rt.
Rev. Ignatius Persico, is said by our cable
dispatches to have been nominated IN petto
Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. He
is Neapolitan by BIRTH though his mother
was an English lady. He belonged to the
Franciscan order of Capuchins, and was
elevated to the episcopacy by Plus TX. and
sent to Agra, in India. There he labored
for many years, but, having suffered from
sunstroke and the usual trials of the climate,
he was forced to resign, and came as
simple missionary to help Bishop Lynch,
OF Charleston, s. c. On the transfer
of Bishop Verot. of Savannah, to the newly
erected "Seen Of st. Augustine, Fla, Bishop
Persco, in 1869, was made Bishop of Savan-
nah and remained here until the advent of
Bishop Gross. Afterward he went TO Cana
da, and having recovered his health, re-
turned to Rome and was appointed to
Aquinam as Bishop. Some months ago
Bishop Persico was made Archbishop OF
Dametta, and now, probably as a prelimi-
nary step 10 the Cardinalate, he has been
sent as Nuntius Apostolicus to direct the
tangled ecclesiastical matters in Ireland.

The Seventy-first Pennsylvania regiment
is credited upon the records of the War De-
partment with having captured three Con-
federate flags at Gettysburg from Pickett's
division. The Sixty-ninth, Ssventy-frst,
Seventy second, and One Hundred and
Sixth Pennsylvania regiments will have a
fraternal meeting with Pickett's division on
July 2, 3 and 4. Upon that occasion the
Seventy-first regiment wishes to return the
captured flags, and inquiries have been
made of the President as to whether or not
the regiment has the right to do so. These
Pennsylvania veterans show the right kind
of spirit, but if they are permitted to return
the captured flags Gen. Fairchild and Gov
Foraker will lose what little sense they have
left
